Description:
This project series documents a non-profit, cooperative housing development in Toronto from 1976-1977. The office identified the project number as 7606 This project investigated four schemes located on Queen's Quay at the shore of Lake Ontario for the Labour Council Development Foundation. The building was referred to as MT 27, because it was to replace the existing marine terminal 27 building. The schemes included a series of V-shaped buildings arranged in S formations, a more classic series of rectangular buildings mixed on the property with hexagonal shaped buildings, and one with just hexagonal buildings. These schemes, arranged on the 3.7 acre site, ranged in size from three to nine storeys and included apartments of varying sizes. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1977. The drawings include site plan schemes, typical unit plans and sections, while the textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports and the project proposal.

Description:
File documents a design programme undertaken for construction company, Sir Robert McAlpine & Sons Ltd., in London, England. The aim was to increase the efficiency of production and improve labour relations by producing enclosures, equipment, material, and information systems that would improve safety, on-site communication, and job satisfaction. Cedric Price's office produced 2 report volumes, a Portable Enclosures Programme (PEP) and used at least one construction site, at Angel Court, as a test site for the proposals. Diagrams and flow charts show preliminary planning and programming design decisions and show the relationship between present and future factors. A flow chart illustrates the scope of the program. Charts and diagrams map the relative time scale of parts of the programme over various development phases. An axonometric and cutaway drawing show the interior construction of a pedestrian walkway. Data showing both the projected and real results of a site test application of McAppy planning and equipment from 1974 to 1975 was collected and presented as a broadside. A large number of original drawings are included within the textual records. Material in this file was produced between 1955 and 1987. Zisman, Bowyer & Partners provided consultation services. File contains design development drawings, model, photographic materials, presentation drawings, and textual records.
